Things have been doing much better these days. My mother in law is less argumentative and distracted. I have also been starting to pinch hit taking care of her so Tony can get some things done. He plans on taking a trip soon and I am ready to take on full time care while he [...]
This week is definitely a week of firsts. First run at -4F. First time I hit a weight I haven't seen since 2020. Running at that low of a temperature is borderline insane. Losing weight has been something that has required patience. It has also happened by using some better tools. I have been using [...]
Wow, this week was brutal. I swear I barely had time to breathe, let alone get anything done. Nothing is on schedule. I am getting up earlier just to get everything done. The one thing I won't compromise on is making sure I get a workout in. I've been getting up some mornings at 3:45am [...]
I don't have a dessert recipe this week so I thought I would share my current lunch recipe. This is what I eat most days when I am home. It's healthy and filling. It also make a large portion. No skimpy portions here. You can also find these ingredient very easily. Nothing fancy. You can [...]
This week has been busy. I had to take a three day training on incident command. It's one of the courses I would like to teach in the future. I already took this class as well as some of the other prerequisite classes that are needed for the train the trainer class. The problem is [...]
I hope everyone is starting their new year off right. I made only one resolution this year. That resolution is to use my vacation time. I'm not one to take days off. Not because I have some fetish for working all the time. There just doesn't seem to be the need. That's not an excuse. [...]
I was inspired to do this recipe because someone from my office bought me Linzer cookies, which I haven't had in a long time. They were gluten free, of course. I always appreciate anything I am given. I am not the type of person who expects gifts. I derive more pleasure in giving. I am [...]
You can tell by the recipes that I have been doing lately that I am really not in the mood to cook anything elaborate. That's ok. It's good to have some simple recipes that don't take much effort. With my mother in law still living down the street, it's a struggle to keep up my [...]
After all of the cooking I did for Thanksgiving, I wanted to slow down a bit. I need to anyway. I want to take a moment to talk about mental health and the holidays. Make sure to take care of yourself, first and foremost. I had too many things going on at once and had [...]
The holidays are upon us again. I may be in the minority, but I hate the holidays. Too much stress. Buying presents is a pain. There's no real joy in buying presents for kids who will love the gift for about 30 second before they move on to something else. I would rather see the [...]
